Once Hugh had left, Alexandra stood at her window, staring down at the tiny figures below her. Her office was so high up, the sixty eight floor and the top floor, that she could barely see things clearly.Well, not like she cared.With a sigh, she pulled away from her window, just as Zion knocked on her door from the other side."Come in." She called out as she untucked her hands from her pocket and walked towards the coffee machine in her office, brewing herself a fresh cup as Zion stepped in."Ms. Grey, Mr. Curt has been seen off." He informed with a bow.Alexandra nodded her head, watching as drips of black beverage poured down into her white mug. "That's good." She said. "Make sure to keep an eye on him. If he does anything concerning any of his company assist, be sure to inform me."Zion bowed his head in acknowledgement. "Of course, Ms. Grey."She smiled and took the cup of coffee, nodding to him with a thanks before taking a sip. She could feel the warmth from the liquid as it
After the harsh realization had hit Lucien, he reminded silent for the rest of the meeting.Alexandra really could care less and as a bonus, his silence granted her the accurate concentration she needed to study the document and come to the conclusion that the terms were indeed good enough for her.For her cooperation with Leon and helping him get rid of Hugh, the elderly man was offering a whole twelve percent of Albrecht Empire, much more than Alexandra had asked for in the beginning. This made her wonder if the info of her and Lucien once being married was the only thing Hugh held against Leon. Because if it was, then Leon was offering one hell of a deal.Too good in this case. Alexandra thought as she closed the document and placed it on the table in between her and Lucien."I agree with the terms." She informed, entwine her finger at her kneel. "If that's all there is fo read through, shall we get things over with?"Lucien remained silent. He wasn't responding and his gaze linger
Alexandra stood in front of Nolis Curt Boutique. She stared up at the famous, elite frequented boutique.Why did Darius want to meet her here?As she pondered the thought, Alexandra adjusted her dress. It was a deep plum color and it hung to her knees with lace around the edges of the sleeves and bodice. She felt confident in this dress—confident enough to walk into the boutique.Alexandra stepped through the entrance and was struck by its beauty. The walls were painted a bright blue with hints of silver along their edges. A large chandelier sparkled in the center of the ceiling, surrounded by hundreds of shimmering crystals that made Alexandra’s eyes light up. The floor was composed of different sizes and shades of marble tile, creating a unique pattern beneath her feet. There were several counters throughout the room with shining glass surfaces displaying beautifully crafted jewelry pieces which glittered like stars filled with precious gemstones in every hue imaginable.Although Al
After leaving Darius, Alexandra stealthily followed Eliana. The devious cotton candy witch seemed to be going on a shopping spree, picking out whatever piqued her interest and discarding the ones that didn't.The two faced attitude she was currently showing told Alexandra that Lucien had indeed not made up what he told her back in her office.So all her fussing and nosiness was all because she wanted to have Darius to herself? Alexandra quietly chuckled at the thought. Beats her, she would never have guessed that. But then again, she had some sort of jinx hanging above her head, making it so that other women lusted after things that did not belong to them.Eliana continued her spree, dragging a few of the shop workers behind her and tossing anything that seemed like she could perfectly fit into, towards them, that was until she spotted one dress and her eyes shone brightly."Hey, sorry, hold on!" She called out to the shop workers who was packing the dress up and rushed towards them.
Alexandra had been gone for quite some time when Darius began to feel worried."Mr. Perce, here's your drink." A kind waiter places down a glass of fruit juice on the table, bowed his head and intended to leave, but just before he could do so, Darius called on him."Excuse me," he gently said. "Have you happened to see the woman I came with?"The waiter shook his head almost immediately. "Not at all. Is everything okay?" He asked.Darius wasn't sure how to respond to that question. Ah, he should have learnt from his last experiences. How could he so foolishly allow her zoom off on her own? What if something were to happen to her like last time? What if something were to happen to their baby?The thought of such horrible incidents propelled Darius to his feet."Thank you for your help," he said to the waiter, "but I think I will look for her myself."The kind server bowed his head and quickly left.After that, he was up and searching. Alone in the boutique, Darius began to search frant
Eliana walked into her house that day feeling annoyed. She had come to realize that annoyance and Alexandra worked hand in hand as she always felt that specific emotion after each and every of her encounter with Alexandra.As she walked past the working servants in her house, they could all tell that she was in a bad mood, even though they had never for once seen her in such a mood, the aura she gave off made them understand better than to approach her, so they all kept to themselves, bowing their heads in respect and all as she walked by.One unfortunate servant who had been sent by her father to fetch her, had the guts to approach her.He wringed his fingers, weighing his options and at last deciding that it was better to include Eliana's wrath rather than to go unemployed.Hesitantly, he walked up to Eliana who was just about to ascend the stairs leading up to her room. "Um, Young Miss," he tentatively began, doubting his options once more the moment Eliana shot him a deathly glare
Lucien stirred in his bed. At first it felt awfully uncomfortable, but then someone sat beside him and the bed dipped."Lu?" He heard a soft voice call out. The voice was familiar and slowly he pulled his eyes open to see Alexandra smiling down at him, her blonde hair flowing from both sides of her face.She seemed to find something funny and chuckled. "Did you have another nightmare." Her voice sounded so serene and compassionate that it also made Lucien forget that he was in yet another one of his dreams.He got up into a sitting position and hugged her around the waist. She giggled and patted his head. "Don't be a big baby now. Get up, you have to get ready for work and I have to drop Oscar in his preschool." She soothingly told him.It took some effort but finally Lucien managed to stand on his own two feet with his back against the bed's wall."Good boy," she said as she kissed his forehead before leaving him standing there by himself.Lucien watched as she walked towards the doo
A few days had gone by since Alexandra's meeting with Hugh. She was just about wrapping up for lunch when Zion knocked on her door and walked in."What is the matter, Zion?" Alexandra asked as she drank the last of her coffee and chugged the disposable cup into her dust bin.Zion stepped forward and present her with the paper in his hand. "Here is the weeks summary you asked for one Curt International Group finances." He handed her the paper which Alexandra received and began flipping through with a knowing look in her eyes.As she read through the paper, Alexandra began to notice subtle inconsistencies in Curt International Group's financial records. She had been following the company's finances closely ever since her meeting with Hugh a few days ago and this didn't seem to add up. For starters, there were large sums of money crossing accounts that weren't supposed to be there. On top of that, Hugh had used some rather questionable methods to acquire funds from other companies withou
